Philadelphia, Monday, Sept. 70, 1887.

The Constitutional Centen-
NAL. Only memory now.
But a memory that will always
be cherished.
We have tried to do our
part in illustrating the cen
trail idea of this Centennial.
We have done it within the
Store. The progress of a
hundred years the relation OF
trade to the individual, have
been the thoughts about which
we have built. The contrasts,
the material pictures, are
under one roof.

Every thread, every loom

The great celebration of the centen-
NAL of the constitution of the United
States, at Philadelphia, commenced on
Thursday and ended Saturday. Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland, the Cabinet
and over a score of Governors were in
attendance. Friday was the day for
the great military and naval parade,
q, 900 men in line. Saturday morning
President Cleveland held an informal
reception, at which he probably had
the largest job of Misunderstanding he ever
had in his life. 1t is estimated that on
Thursday over 100000 visitors from a
distance were in Philadelphia, besides
the enormous crowds from near at
hand who poured into the city during
the day and returned at night. On
Thursday night thousands of visitors
had to walk the streets all night, being
utterly unable to find lodging. The
parades were witnessed by 100000.

The American PARTY.

The American party's convention in
Philadelphia had 225 delegates present
on Saturday, and a platform of princi-
Piles was adopted declaring for a de-
partment of immigration, whose head
shall be a member of the Presidents
cabinet demanding a revision of the
naturalization laws so as to require IA
years residence; recommending an ex-
tension of the public school system,
protesting against the grant of public
lands to corporations, and demanding
that no alien nonresident be permitted
to own land in the United States and
that the holdings of resident aliens be
limited in area and value. Other res
olutions declare for religious freedom,
the right of labor to organize for its
protection and demand the strength
cuins of the navy and q vigorous for
cign policy. An attempt was made to
put Il prohibition plank in the platform,
but this having failed, the prohibition
lists withdrew from the new party in a
body and held meeting of their own,
at which they resolved to organize a
Pennsylvania branch of the National
Reform Party on the principles SET
forth by the National Reform Confer.
ence held at Syracuse, N. Y, August
oath. The American party afterwards
| adjourned.

will be very rapid.
1.-The reports concerning the progress
OF the road, stating II to be five miles per

think that the road is getting along ut the
rate OF about one hundred miles per month.
For the next hundred miles it is pos ;iblc
that they may make five miles per day. 1t
